    First win was a day on the top gear test track having way too much fun :) I hadn't been comping very long.

    I got my first win after about 6 weeks of comping, which isn't bad going. It was a book which got very good reviews online, but bored me senseless and I never finished it. It's still around somewhere - I really should drop it off to a charity shop!
    Back after a very long break!
  • £25 to spend at Frankie and Benny's. It was enough to keep me going and I've been at it for a year now!
    2015 win value so far: £90

    I had been comping seriously for about a month when I had my first win - a £25 Sainsbury's voucher.

    I started many moons ago, in the days when copious numbers of postcards were required. Can't remember which was my first win, but certainly the most memorable from those early days was a pair of tickets to see Michael Jackson at Cardiff. My then teenage step daughter and her friend loved it.

    Way back in 2012 - It was during the advents and it was on Marks and Spencer pass the parcel.

    A blu-ray player.

    Since then I've comped on and off, but starting to get back into it as I miss the little surprises in the post! x

    My first win was when I started comping at uni, back in 2003...a month's supply of Cadbury Mini Rolls! As a student, any food-related prizes were the way forward! :D
